Japanese Communist Party Vice Chair Ogata Yasuo on November 18 met with Zhao Shitong, Deputy Director-General of the No.2 Bureau of the International Department of the Communist Party of China, at the JCP head office in Tokyo.

Referring to the recent Japan-China summit meeting, Zhao said that he will work to improve bilateral relations.

In response, Ogata highlighted the need to increase efforts to resolve the historical issues as well as the territorial issue involving the Senkaku Islands in the South China Sea.
